The meaning of beauty has been debated by philosophers
since the time of the Greeks. Courted or scorned, distrusted, devalued, deconstructed, beauty promises pleasure while provoking awe, admiration and even fear. Beauty quickens the pulse.

Beauty stirs the understanding, and is the enemy of
complacency. Concepts alone can never replace it.
Beauty’s provocations are no longer innocent. Exuberant,
self-conscious and enigmatic, beauty will stage a stunning
comeback at OCCCA.
